The supportive and empowering environment has not only helped me grow in confidence and fitness but also blessed me with some amazing friendships.

I look forward to each class, knowing I’ll leave feeling stronger, inspired, and part of a wonderful community. Highly recommended! Less
AJs is a great place to train. Everyone is friendly, the coaches are really helpful and you can go for belts / spar if you'd like, so I found it easy to set goals and practice. The training space is great, with kit available so if you've never kickboxed before, you can still come and try it out. I've had a great experience here and highly recommend you give it a go.... More

The best Academy in the town,nice community and friendly staff!Highly recommended!
Great environment and my son really enjoys his sessions
For years I struggled to engage my son in sport, we tried so many different activities. But from the first day he stepped into AJ’s he was hooked. The staff are incredibly supportive, there is a great community atmosphere. They have the perfect balance of fun and discipline.

Absolutely amazing place. If you’re looking for self defence for your little one then look no further. The coaches are so patient and take the time to teach and correct.

Such a great and friendly academy. I was petrified to start kickboxing, the first week I tried to go in I literally ran away, but the second week I managed to walk through the doors with help from one of the ladies there and I am so grateful for them because I’m enjoying it so much and love that i’m doing something for myself.

I recently joined AJ Kickboxing Academy, and I’m thoroughly impressed with how the classes are structured. The academy upholds exceptionally high standards with top-quality instruction. There are plenty of coaches in every session, ensuring that everyone gets the support and guidance they need to improve. In the past, I attended another club but quit after the first session due to the lack of organisation and poor teaching quality. At that club, anyone could walk in at any time, pay for a single class, and join. There was no focus on structured learning, and instead of working on skills or preparing for local events, it felt chaotic, with people going too hard on each other. They also didn’t have uniforms or belts, which made the experience feel unprofessional. AJ Kickboxing Academy, on the other hand, is the complete opposite. It’s a well-run, welcoming, and disciplined environment where students can focus on learning, progressing, and achieving their goals. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a high-quality kickboxing club! Less

Superb kick boxing club for adults and kids. Coaches are former multiple champions and many under 18 members are current title holders (British, European, World Champs!) Great atmosphere, classes always different. Team of coaches with different approaches. My 11 year old son was a total novice and after 18 months he's confident at school, fit, strong and motivated.

Well organised , my son loves it, and I do recommend AJs
Great club with really good instructors. Good number of bags, a ring and classes for everyone at every level
My boy Kobie has recently started here. Kobie loves it and the instructor's seem lovely.
Amazing as always. Being a plus size lady I struggle with confidence. But these guys always make me feel at ease. Xx
The best desicion we made, take our son to AJ'S Academy,amazing to watch what he learn in 1 year time.
Started at AJ's 6 months ago as a bonding activity with the daughter, and it's been amazing , after every class you can't wait for the next , daughter was struggling with anxiety and her school attendance was really bad , and since starting this gym she hasn't missed a day of school ,staff and students are friendly and welcoming, wish we did it years ago ....

They not only teach and support him whilst he is there but they’re always a friendly ear if he feels he wants to speak with them. The family atmosphere is second to none. He is growing as a person and going from strength to strength. He has made friends for life. The facilities are fantastic! He loves it so much he now attends 4 times a week. To say he hasn’t even been with the club a year is surprising as it feels as he has always been there! If you want to get fit, meet people or whether you want to progress into the fight academy, all basis are covered with the fighter shadow programme or the fighter development programme! Why not give it a go? You never know you may come out of there having found a passion like my son has! Thank you Chris and co. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Less
Excellent classes for all ages and abilities. Varied, informative and enjoyable classes . Would highly recommend without hesitation.

I've achieved things I never thought possible, with their constant support and expert guidance.My son also attends classes now, being very shy he needed a confidence boost too, and this has certainly done the trick.If you're wondering whether to give it a try, please do, you won't regret it! You won't find a friendlier, more welcoming environment, and you'll feel great too😊 Less
